To follow-up: I installed 9.1-RELEASE last night, then went and cvsup'ed to the latest that RELENG_9 would give me. Everything is completely stock, I have not modified any config files other than filling out the setup questions (hostname, em0 set to DHCP, added a base user so I can ssh to it)

I was already starting to load up a fresh 9.1-STABLE box for other testing, I will also create a stock box (no changes anywhere) and let it idle for a few days to see if the problem is still there. I'll report back either way in the next few days with results. If I still have problems, I will

Hello, I've updated the PR on this via bug track email (hopefully, it bounced my first email) , but I thought I should bring it to the attention of the list as it's still happening, and the original PR was from March 2012. The PR is here: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=165903&cat=

I have a few systems with Intel X520-DA2 PCIe network cards (10 Gig). The problem I've been running into is with a fresh 9.0-STABLE or 9.0-RELEASE install. I can't get a LACP connection established over the ix0 and ix1 ports. It's showing COLLECTING and DISTRIBUTING, but not ACTIVE. I've notic

Interesting, I was just testing Solaris 11 Express's ability to handle a pulled drive today. It handles it quite well. However, my Areca 1880 drive (arcmsr0) crashes when you reinsert the drive.. but that's another topic, and an issue for Areca tech support.. ..back to the point: Solaris runs

First off, raidz2 and raidz1 with copies=2 are not the same thing. raidz2 will give you two copies of parity instead of just one. It also guarantees that this parity is on different drives. You can sustain 2 drive failures without data loss. raidz1 with copies=2 will give you two copies of al
